nice job, Polvie. That was great, your travel pals must have loved that compilation. That was a lot of work! I think you should plan to take a few months off, and rest up.

i'm beginning to get caught up on my "what i did on my vacation videos". I enjoyed ever minute of it. The sound track was wonderful. Must have been a lot of fun. Did you know any of these people before the trip? I really got a good feeling watching the dolphins swimming with you guys. That and the leaf race along the beach sort of helped me refocus. Excellente! -Johnny2Bad

I looked in my log book and it was almost exactly two years since I had been flying last. So I decided it was time. Man, it felt good to be back up in the sky. I feel alive again. My friend Paul and I flew over the southern tip of the Catskill Mountains out to Cherry Ridge Airport (N30)in Pennsylvania. It was a small airport with a 50 ft. wide by 2400 ft long. I flew and navigated there with my friend Paul doing the take offs and landings. It was a beautiful day. Could see for miles. Really gave me a thrill. I had been going crazy just to experience this feeling again. :) I enjoyed every second of it. Cherry Ridge was a nice place to stop. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed. On the way back we landed at Sullivan Co International (MSV) and took off for Orange Co. (KMGJ) where I did my first solo a few years ago. It was great to see that airport. It was like seeing an old girlfriend. We landed and went into their restaurant called Rick's Runway Cafe. Excellent service from a purty waitress and enjoyed my $100 chicken club wrap and rootbeer while talking about the flight and watching the planes land. Off we went and in no time we were crossing the beautiful Hudson River. My goodness how I missed this view. Then the best part of the trip was seeing that gorgeous runway of my home airport staring up at us. That familiar sight looked just the same as it did two years ago, if not better. I missed it. It was my home airport. Instead of seeing it from the parking lot with my handheld scanner inside my pickup truck, I was seeing it from above, in an AIRPLANE once again. How beautiful. I can't wait to go up again. (Possibly next Monday with my new CFI.)
